The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has lodged a complaint with the Thane police after a man allegedly illegally occupied a flat attached by the agency in connection with a money laundering case involving Iqbal Kaskar, brother of notorious gangster Dawood Ibrahim. The flat, registered in the name of Mumtaz Azaz Shaikh, was provisionally attached by the ED in April 2022 and physically taken over in December 2024 under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The property is linked to an extortion case from 2017 involving real estate developer Suresh Devichand Mehta. Recently, the housing society informed the ED that a man named Haresh Kamble broke the lock, entered the flat, and removed the possession notice. Upon inspection, the ED replaced the lock, re-affixed the notice, and lodged a complaint, leading to the registration of an FIR against Kamble.
The ED is concerned that the unauthorised entry could compromise the security of the property and affect ongoing proceedings in a Mumbai special PMLA court.
